#1: Marvelously Layered Bob

These shaggy waves complement the layers and create a dimensional, textured finish. Such cute haircuts work well with a thick curtain fringe for the modern shag look.

Shoulder-Length Middle Part Lob Haircut

#2 Middle Part LOB

This style is fresh and versatile. It’s great for any woman searching for a new look but also wanting to stay away from a bob. With the midi in fashion right now, the LOB is a must-have, as it works for both straight hair or beach waves for that “I woke up like this” look.

#3 Stunning Layered Cut Lob for Thick Hair

Layered lob haircuts for shoulder-length hair are so popular now and easy to manage. Hairstyles at this length are still long enough to throw into a messy bun or ponytail on those days when you aren’t in the mood to style it.

shoulder-length stacked bob haircut

#4 Stacked Bob

This hairstyle, the A-line stacked bob, is one of my favorite cuts. The longer lengths in the front allow women to try shorter styles while continuing to give them the feeling of long hair. It’s versatile for so many lifestyles! Pull it back, scrunch and go, or smooth and straighten – it’s all up to you! The rich chocolate brown base, accented with just a touch of red hues, is perfect for this brunette.

Shag-Inspired Shoulder-Length Haircut

#5 Shag-Inspired Haircut

I would describe the look as a textured, shoulder-length, shag-inspired cut. The versatility of styling options is endless. You can go from rocker to bohemian wavy, from straight to with texture, or pinned up in various ways. My favorite thing about this hairstyle is that it’s a very versatile style that can be worn with your hair’s natural texture.

#6: Mid-Length Brunette Shag with Blonde Tips

Think about adding blonde tips to a mid-length brunette shag. This can give a classic style an edgy update. Ask your stylist whether an ashy blonde or a warmer blonde will be more flattering to your skin tone. Use a spray wax like Flash Form by Oribe to style your mid-length brunette shag.

#7: Shoulder-Length Shag with See-Through Bangs

A shoulder-length shag with see-through bangs is the perfect mix of hairstyles. If you love shag cuts, you’re probably interested in bangs. Trying a see-through fringe will help transition your style.

Dark Rooted Blunt Shoulder-Length Cut for women with blonde highlights
Instagram @somehair_ali

#8: Dark Rooted Blunt Cut

A blunt haircut could be perfect for a versatile and low-maintenance cut. This style features a sleek, straight cut with no layers or angles. This makes it easy to style and maintain, while the blonde highlights add dimension and depth. This style works best for all face shapes and hair types. Consider adding subtle waves or curls with a large barrel curling iron to add a bit of volume and dimension.

#9: Tight Medium Blonde Ringlets

Ask about a tight medium blonde ringlet style. My advice for a beautiful ringlet would be to focus on definition and volume. Find a curl specialist if you want to be educated on your curls. There are many curl styling products and techniques to fit your style.

#10: Just Past The Shoulders for Summer

This is effortless, girl-on-the-go hair. My favorite thing about this look is how wearable it is. Whether she styles or wears it undone and messy, it still looks great.

#11: Shoulder-Length Hair With Bangs

This look is a classic shoulder-length cut with bangs. It’s a modern take on a retro fringe. My favorite thing about it is the texture and fun feel the overall look has. The best product to maintain this look would have to be Chiffon from R+Co. It’s great round brushed in and gives nice volume but a smooth finish. I also like to add a bit of Salty Dog from Evo after drying to give it a slightly textured edge.

#12: Frizzy Waves

This painted choppy bob look is extremely versatile and low-maintenance.  It’s a really fun, flirty look that can be worn by any age group. A hair painting technique used for lightening allows for a super low-maintenance color that works with your skin tone, adding brightness and dimension, all while your hair is growing out gorgeously.

#13: Soft Brown Balayage Color

This haircut has been very popular for the last few years. My favorite is the color we paired with this amazing haircut—a proper lob paired with a flawless balayage. I love keeping the highlights a bit stronger and brighter around the face. That “money piece” is everything!

Naturally curly red shoulder length hair

#14: Naturally Curly Red

I love curly hair and how she’s not afraid to show it off. Her hair looks entirely straight from surgery. Be aware of being on a routine schedule coming into the salon. You want to make sure to use cooler water at home. Do not wash every day, and use a color-safe shampoo and conditioner. I like using the Angel Wash and Rinse by Kevin Murphy, Smooth Again to comb her hair out, Cocktail Deva Curl Styling Cream and Gel, then diffuse. For curly hair, any face shape works.

Shoulder-Length Stylish Deep Side Part

#15: Stylish Deep Side Part

Bedhead never looked so good! Pair those golden bronze hair color tousled layers with a messy, deep side part for an on-trend shoulder-length look.

Shorter ponytail for shoulder-length hairstyles
Instagram @victoriahairdo

#16: Shorter Ponytail

An easy yet beautiful hairstyle on shoulder-length hair. A cute low ponytail allows you to flaunt your face and keep your hair off if you’re an athlete or a gym-goer. Put on your favorite hairband for added hold and style.

Casual and Cute Shoulder-Length Hairstyle

#17: Casual & Cute

Try a casual and cute haircut on your shoulder-length hair. My favorite thing about this look is that it’s fun and trendy. This look works for all hair types and personalities and is easier to style when using the right products!

Cute Side-Swept Bangs Shoulder Length Hairstyle

#18: Cute Side-Swept Bangs

The softness of the color makes her blunt bob with sweet side-swept bangs stand out. It’s a hairstyle that looks its best on faces that are heart-shaped or oval.

Shoulder-Length Layered Haircut
Instagram @salsalhair

#19: Shoulder-Length Layered Hair

Shoulder-length layered haircuts like this are classic. It’s low-maintenance but not boring at all! This client has fine hair, and when we added the longer layers, it transformed the cut and added some bounce to her normally limp hair. I love that something so simple can brighten up a face!

#20: Blonde Texture & Movement

An impressive blonde color on shoulder-length hair. This look has a lot of texture and movement to it. I love this look because it’s so versatile. You can wear it sleek and straight or give it volume and texture like in the picture.

#21: Sweet Middle-Parted Bangs

This is one of the most on-trend haircuts for fashionistas. That’s because it’s classic and cool at the same time. It all depends on the finish you want – straight or wave! And its versatility is what is interesting about it! It works for almost everyone.

Tousled middle part layers for medium length hair
Instagram @graysontroy

#22: Tousled, Middle Part Layers

A middle part, with glamorous tousled layers that are just a tad below the shoulders. The color makes this look one of the most gorgeous hairstyles this season.

#23: Waves of Silver

The best shoulder-length hairstyles for women are those who are growing out their choppy short bobs or those wanting a fresh short to medium length! Add some impressive waves to help show the vibrant silver and ash brown melt, and get ready to receive overflowing compliments everywhere you go.

Lobby choppy haircut shoulder-length
Instagram @blendedbygabby

#24: Lobby Choppy Haircut

This is my favorite kind of bob – textured and choppy. I adjust the length and layers depending on my client’s face shape. This look is so low-maintenance. You only need to add a texture product like the Matrix StyleLink Airy Builder. It’s a mousse that adds texture and some grit to it. It builds up fine hair and is strong enough to control thick hair without creating too much buildup. If you have fine, straight hair, add the mousse, diffuse, and wrap a few face-framing pieces around your wand, and you’re off. If you already have texture, apply Airy Builder, diffuse, and go, as this dries so amazingly.

#25: Fashionable African-American Hair

Rock your shoulder-length weave comfortably and fashionably at the same time with this easy and flirty hairstyle. Placing your hair on one side and working those layers with some waves create a flattering finish.

#26: Long Side-Swept Bangs

This is effortlessly chic. My favorite thing is that anyone with hair texture or face shape can wear it. And it doesn’t take a lot of time to style.

#27: Splendid Straight Blonde Hair

If you’re getting bored with your long hair, you might wanna try something new and shorter, like this amazing straight blonde lob. Remember that using very light colors needs TLC and high maintenance to keep them stunning.

Wrapped Easy Updo Shoulder Length
Instagram @cathy.styleinc

#28: Wrapped Easy Updo

This is a hairstyle that is simple and textured with polished elegance. While favoring sleek looks personally, I have grown to love movement. It provides a feminine appearance to the woman wearing it from all angles.

#29: Sassy Rich Angled LOB

This is sassy and chic. You get the best of both worlds. You have a bob look, but it’s long enough to still play with. Use a good product and good tools. My go-to products are Loma Fortify Repair Oil (used on both wet and dry) and Small Talk from Bed Head for styling and volume. Make sure you use tools up to 450 degrees, as it makes a big difference, but also use the oil before curling or straightening your hair.

Strawberry Swirls Curled Mid-Length Hair
Instagram @koaffyr.se

#30: Strawberry Swirls Curled Hair

This is a dimensional red and blonde layered cut with soft curls. My favorite part is the color and how it is not only her skin but also her cut. These 2 shades of red and honey beige blonde also go so well with each other, especially when paired with shoulder-length hairstyles for women. For this color combination, always consider your skin tone. If you have fair skin, adding a deep red will give you more vibrancy in your skin tone and brighten your eyes.

#31: Bright Blonde for Straight Hair

By keeping the length blunt, it creates an illusion of fullness. I love to add a slight downward angle towards the front to create a focal point. It keeps the cut looking chic and on-trend. The first thing to decide is where you want it to hit: above the shoulders, at your chin, or mid-neck. Usually, this depends on your face shape and neck length. Often, women forget that their neck length can make a big difference when cutting a bob. There are many variations of the bob haircut. Ask your stylist to help you decide which version fits best for you!

#32: Incredible Bob for Curly Hair

Embrace your gift and be confident to show off by getting this perfect cut for curly hair. Remember that moisturizing is key to giving your locks the life and bounce they need!

#33: Low-Maintenance Box Braids

These braids can be styled in countless ways, require little maintenance, and work with any hair type and texture. Keep it shoulder-length or shorter if you want to feel light and carefree. This is an edgy and old-school hairstyle. These shorter box braids give me a 90s lob feel. What I like about this hairstyle are the length and the jewels. The jewels at the end make this hairstyle stand out. If your hair is a little too long, fold your hair in half so that when you cut the ends, you don’t accidentally snip your hair! Also, moisturize your scalp once a week to avoid irritation and dryness.

A Remarkable Rose Gold Color Shoulder-Length
Instagram @alfiehair

#34: A Remarkable Rose Gold Color

This is a long bob, also known as a lob. It’s a one-length cut with interior layering to create texture and remove the weight so it doesn’t turn into a triangle on your head. My favorite thing is the rose tone of the hair! I used the only rose-toned vegan shampoo there is on the market. It’s called Surface Rose Shampoo and Conditioner. After 1-3 washes, it washes right out, and you will have blonde hair again. This is perfect if you are scared to color your hair but want something fun and temporary.

Exquisitely messy bob shoulder-length
Instagram @shmoakin_hair

#35: Exquisitely Messy Bob

It’s an effortless texturized long bob. This girl has a slight wave to the ends of her hair, making the undone look easy to achieve. I love the lived-in look that this cut and style has. The cut has a lot of texture, allowing for a messy look.

Straight middle part shoulder length
Instagram @guzzu.hairdresser

#37: Straight Middle Part

A center part for medium straight hair creates an effortless frame around your face and elongates it. This simple yet effective styling lets your youthful and modern personality stand out.

#38: Perfect Casual Updo

The perfect go-to style for every day or even a formal event – a casual and quick bun is doable for any hair type as long as you have enough length to hold it.

#39: Adorable Braided Updo for Prom

When it comes to updos for shoulder-length hair, a sophisticated braid is the way to go! I love that it’s trendy, perfect for any occasion, can be worn as a bridesmaid hairstyle, prom, and recreated as a quick dinner date updo by braiding the braid and assembling it with a messy low bun. This hairstyle can be worn for any hair type. I recommend you pre-curl all your hair before styling it.

Messy bangs and layers shoulder-length
Instagram @sophiecolorco

#40: Messy Bangs and Layers

This look is great if you prefer a little lived-in/messy style. If you’re not looking for a perfectly structured bob but a style that goes with the flow, this shag is for you. You can air dry it if you love your natural texture or throw a couple of wanded pieces in there. I wouldn’t recommend this cut for low-density hair or tight or coiled curls. It’s great for medium texture, medium to heavy density, straight to wavy, or soft curls.

Incredibly textured bob shoulder-length

#41: Incredibly Textured Bob

A fresh and fun A-line bob haircut is one of my favorites. You’ll love how it can be worn with a deep side part or a center part and still look amazing. You will also love how the A-line bob is versatile and can be worn in many different ways.

Cute Middle Parted Bangs at Shoulder-Length
Instagram @hirohair

#42: Cute Middle-Parted Bangs

Consider a shaggy textured bob because this cut is so versatile. It’s cute, straight pulled back with the layered curtain bangs, or wavy and messy! Haircuts on shoulder-length hair only require a little work as it looks straight and wavy. But for a voluminous look, a root lifting spray helps give it an effortless look. For your bangs, I suggest pulling the front forward and round brushing, then drying and then separating down the middle for a face-framing look!

Elegant Twisted Wedding Updo Shoulder-Length

#43: Elegant Twisted Wedding Updo

Are you seeking an elegant yet youthful and trendy wedding hairstyle for your shoulder-length hair? Twists always work perfectly for any hair type, especially when you have highlights to give your twists dimension. Finish in a bun and some loose waves in front for a lovely look.

Dark Brown Hair with Caramel Highlights
Instagram @cabelodemadame

#44: Dark Brown Hair with Caramel Highlights

This is one of the best hairdos because it has many dimensions, and the caramel color of the highlights complements her skin tone. The subtle, darker root will allow the highlights to grow softly for a lower-maintenance look. Keep the length around the collarbone, which will help avoid the “shoulder flip” when your hair sits right on the shoulders.

#45: Highlighted Angled Bob

Spice up your color while keeping your roots and base natural by getting warm blonde highlights that brighten and add depth to your straight hair.

A steep-angled blunt bob is a modern choice for the classic bob. All hair textures are welcome. For fullness, keep a blunt perimeter. For more weight removal, use thick texture and razor cutting to create softness. Waves with a curling wand always look great with a bob or naturally wavy and curly hair.

Flowing silvery long layers

#61: Flowing Silvery Long Layers

Consider a flowing, silvery, medium-layered cut. Ask your stylist for long layers and less body if you want movement. This typically is created with layers no shorter than a few inches from the perimeter. Adding texture to the layers will also give lightness to the ends.

Beachy Lob for a Rounder Face
Instagram @marcosyan_boaz

#69: Beachy Lob for a Rounder Face

Undoubtedly, one of the best lengths for round faces is a shoulder-grazing cut. Such medium haircuts for women over 50 feature middle-parting and textured beach waves to help thin and elongate the face.

These subtle ash-blonde highlights add depth to her hair while the flawless waves show off the dimension. This cute shoulder-length hair is easy to create and perfect for an everyday feminine look.

V-shaped shoulder length cut
Instagram @salt.and.clove

#73: V-Shaped Haircut

This heavily layered cut exquisitely flatters any medium to long hair equally. Together with those highlights, this technique creates depth and movement within those strands. This is a V-cut with lots of layers and a color combination of baby lights & balayage, finished with beach waves. Her color here shows how low-maintenance that combination is because we didn’t even do it during this session.

#74: Dark Brunette Graduated Bob

This is a sleek, contemporary take on the standard bob. I love the steep inversion, which sets this haircut aside from the typical bob. The versatility of this haircut allows you to wear it straight, with natural curls or beach waves.

Rockabilly Green Shoulder Lengths
Instagram @dreams.colour

#75: Rockabilly Green

This look is a vintage style with a modern twist. It’s so complementary to almost everyone’s hair. It’s a very versatile style that adds class to any occasion.

#76: Perfectly Platinum Blonde Color

I want to categorize this as a California girl/beachy chic look. After brightening her up, we gave her a cut that could be easy for day-to-day or a fun weekend glam. There’s nothing better than this beach wave! When I finish her hair, fireworks go off, and I fall in love.

Choppy Hair With Natural Highlights

#77: Choppy Hair With Natural Highlights

This look is effortless. We take your natural wave pattern and dress it up. Lobs are for everyone! All face shapes and sizes! Choppy lobs are easily the universal hairstyle I feel anyone can wear. Invest in a good curling iron. I use hot tools like a barrel curling iron and curling technique, but then I roll all my curls the same way. Flip your hair over, and throw some Bedroom Hair in it.

Champagne Blonde Prom Hairstyle at Medium-Length
Instagram @pretty_please_salon_spa

#78: Champagne Blonde Prom

Always consider your skin tone, natural hair color, eye color, and lifestyle. Your natural beauty always speaks the truth. This blonde color complements you well if you have a lighter skin tone. Always be sincere with yourself. Many women want something opposite of their natural spectrum, which will need a lot of maintenance and budget.

A shoulder length vintage updo
Instagram @misshulahooper

#79: Vintage Updo

It’s a modernized vintage updo. My client went to a 1920s-themed school event and wanted to fit in without going overboard. I love the clean lines and that they captured the old Hollywood elegance without being too stylized.

#80: French Braid

I would put this look in the ‘boho category.’ The soft waves and chunky braid give it the effortless look you need for a boho look. Sometimes, braids get lost in hair, but this muted caramel color breaks it up.

#81: Dark Mahogany

This is a dimensional ruby red. I like how the red compliments the green in her hazel eyes and how the brighter pieces highlight the texture of her cut. Anyone looking for a bold red color should first consider that a bolder color requires more maintenance. Reds are notoriously high maintenance but easily keep up with a color-depositing shampoo, such as Viral in Ruby or Overtone products.

#82: Elegant Hollywood Waves

Go for a classic, a modern spin on a vintage hairstyle. It works perfectly, giving it the right amount of sheen and bounce. Any angular face (heart, diamond, square) does justice to a cut with minimal layering. Ask your stylist to prep your hair with Amika Thermal Shield Spray to help morph your curls into shape. Then, comb it out and put Powder Lite in your hair from the base to your ends lightly to create a hold for the curls without teasing. Finish with Amika Fluxus Hairspray and CHI Shine Spray.

#83: Face-Framing Waves for Thin Hair

This is a tousled, beachy textured look. The grown-out regrowth and the brightness around the face make it look like she’s been naturally sun-kissed in the sun. I love that it looks messy on purpose. It was almost like she had just gotten out of bed, curled a few pieces, and finished with a texture spray. I love the idea of that “just got out of bed” look. The color brings it all together to enhance the curl. Some of it is her natural texture, which also looks fantastic when straight!

Bright pink rooted shoulder length ombre
Instagram @hairbypilvi

#84: Bright Pink Rooted Ombre

This is platinum with a splash of pink at the roots. I love how perfectly the pink melts into the platinum ends! This is for women who like their hair to be very bold! It looks great with any hair length, making it versatile.

#85: Mermaid Melt for Thick Wavy Hair

Using a color melting technique and using fashion colors is so much fun! With any fashion color, always consider whether you are ready to commit before diving in. Upkeep and home maintenance are necessary with these colors.

#86: Inspiring Inverted Bob

This is glamorously sleek. It has a mix of fashion-forward, power mom, and summer festival hair rolled into one. This is one of my absolute favorite cuts. It’s playful, cool, and chic! It works on so many levels. It’s short enough to feel free and simple but long enough to style in many ways.

Edgy dip dye blue ombre shoulder length
Instagram @kbarber2_25

#87: Edgy Dip Dye Blue Ombre

This is a badass look. I love the color melting from matte dark brown to vivid turquoise.  Every girl or woman can wear this look if she’s brave enough. But I think it will look best for alternative girls wanting alternative hairstyles.

Attractive auburn color shoulder length hair
Instagram @juhis.tnen

#88: Attractive Auburn Color

This is a copper-gold color melt! I love this option over a tired classic ombre. Moving away from the classic dark to blonde, we’ve jazzed it up and given it new life. The best part is that we didn’t have to pre-lighten, so the hair is in great condition, which results in epic shine! This irresistible color transition is hard to look away from! With a take-home Novafusion copper shampoo, this color can be rich and have no fuss at home. The subtle color blend will look fantastic if styled curly, straight, or left natural.

Pinned for a perfect party shoulder length hair
Instagram @martinajagr

#89: Pinned for a Perfect Party Look

This half-up, half-down style is the perfect mix of elegance and whimsical. My favorite thing about this look is its simplicity, but adding the pearls gives it just the right amount of extravagance. I recommend this look for women with layers, as it would be hard to replicate if their hair is only one length. I used KMS Dry Wax to give it hold and a bit of texture.

#90: Braided Style with Loose Waves

This is a braided shoulder-length hairdo with loose waves. My favorite thing about this style is the braid! Braids are so popular and fun right now. They add the right amount of texture along with the loose waves and help bring the whole look together.

#91: Sunset Blonde with Layers

This low-maintenance haircut is great for multiple occasions. It adds flair and sass to your day or night-out ensemble. It’s suitable for all ages because it’ll never go out of style. The model’s hair falls slightly past her shoulders when it’s straight, and when curled like in the featured picture, it’ll sit right on the shoulders. When curling, remember to alternate the curl direction to get a more natural curl pattern. Start by curling one piece away from the face and the next towards your face.

Superb Textured Bob for Shoulder-Length Hair
Instagram @hirohair

#92: Superb Textured Bob

This is a textured modern bob cut on shoulder-length hair. It’s a little more modern because it moves more than a structured classic bob. I love how youthful and chic this style is. It is very feminine and flattering for most women.

Wedding perfect maypole braided hair
Instagram @bylauracarita

#93: Wedding Perfect Maypole Braided Updo

This is a formal take on a boho updo simply because it has the sleekness of the barrel roll, but the braids help make it look more relaxed. My favorite is the braids because you cannot beat a pretty braid in any style. Plus, this particular braid is something new I created, which I have called the “Maypole” braid.

#94: Blue Purple for a Funky Look

This is a fierce look that’s not for the timid! If you ever wanted rainbow hair, you could always end on the cooler side of the rainbow. I love the blends of colors and the color pallet.

Noticeable Natural Curly Shoulder-Length Hair
Instagram @belximenes

#95: Noticeable Natural Curly Hair

The focus of this look was to make her curls bouncy and healthy again. If you want your curls to hold their shape and have body throughout the day, opt for this shoulder-length hairstyle. Ask your stylist for face-framing layers to open up your face. Mid-length layers added all around will blend into your face-framing layers in the front so that your hair has a perky, weightless shape when dried with a diffuser.

#96: An Awesomely A-line Cut

Edgy, yet girly, because of the rose gold hair color. My favorite part was styling the hair and seeing the result. If you’re not into a high-maintenance look, don’t want to spend money on a product, or are too lazy to visit the salon every 3 months, I wouldn’t recommend this cut and color.

#97: Warm Auburn Tones

This is a playful modern LOB. I love the versatility it offers. The cut can be modified to flatter any face shape, and the final look can be styled in many ways.

This cut is a more modern take on a classic bob. I love how clean and sleek this haircut is. There’s nothing better than a nice sharp line. This cut works best on someone who has straight to wavy hair. I use Aveda Smooth Infusion to help achieve a straight and frizz-free finish.

#99: Bronde Textured Layers

This is effortless regarding the color and how it is cut/styled! Our goal was to have a natural sun-kissed color that looked pretty in any way she wanted to style it. My favorite thing about it is the dimension we achieved without having high contrast and how the loose waves complement those tones!

#100: Boho-Inspired Braid

The textured waves and crown braid are perfect. It’s a look anyone can pull off. My guest here had fine hair, and the textured waves made her appear fuller. We used some Powder Play Lite on her crown to give her a little more oomph and finished the style with AG Tousled Texture finishing spray to make her waves more careless.

Platinum Blonde Shadow Root Shoulder Lengths

#101: Platinum Blonde Shadow Root

This look is a blonde shoulder-length hair color that’s balayage with a rooted effect. My favorite thing about this look is that it allows you who dream of being blonde (but cannot pull off a full blonde look) to finally be blonde and keep your base hair color! I advise you to purchase Olaplex, another deep conditioner, and silver/purple shampoo. That will help moisturize the hair and maintain the tone of the color so it doesn’t get brassy.

#102: Perfectly Straight Ash Blonde

This is a cool blonde. I love how consistent the color is. I also am obsessed with ash blondes. My favorite thing about this look is that it’s blonde! And who doesn’t love a good blonde? I like that it gives the illusion of an all-over blonde without lightening the entire head.

#103: Fresh Multi-Dimensional Purple

This is a multi-dimensional color on shoulder-length hair. Even though there is a dark purple root, we used my favorite block color placement and mixed custom colors to complement each other.

#104: Sunkissed Beachy Waves Bronde

This is a sunkissed, multi-dimensional blonde on a collarbone cut. My favorite thing about this look is the length. It’s not too short, but not too long! I recommend using a heat protectant oil, a 1 1/4-inch curling iron to create the waves, and a texture spray to piece it out for a beachy look. This cut will fit any client. It’s really up to the client as to how they want to style it because you can do as little or as much as you want with this length!

#105: Trendy Honey Long Messy Bob

This messy shoulder-length bob is perfect for that everyday look that’s all one hair length. This look is a very popular and on-trend long bob. I like that it has a lived-in, effortless look and can be beachy/messy or sleek.

#106: Charming Waves With Glasses

This client has naturally thick, coarse, and curly hair. Compared to her normal look, this is an extremely smooth and sleek style. I love the loose and relaxed feel of the waves and the texture and volume lent to the style from her hair’s natural texture.

#107: New Wave Textured Shag

The blonde waves right above the shoulder create an on-point hairstyle for women. This is a new-wave textured shag. My guest wanted a shag that’s shoulder-length with bangs as a throwback to long ago.  My favorite thing would be the flexibility for movement and the versatility.

#108: Chic, Yet Edgy

Look chic and edgy at the same time! I love pairing this haircut with the lavender color because it gives off this spunky, laid-back vibe. I recommend the Viral Extreme Silver shampoo to maintain your hair color. As for the shoulder-length loose curls, I recommend a hair wand as flat irons and curling irons can sometimes fade the hair color back to blonde.

#109: Multi-Tonal

This is a versatile, multi-tonal style. The great thing about this look is that a version of it is suitable for everyone as you can adapt the shape around the front to suit and flatter most face shapes. It’s great for ladies with a busy lifestyle, as you can scrunch a bit of sea salt spray in, and you’re good to go.

#110: Convertible Texture

This medium hairstyle has a lot of convertible texture, making it perfect for beach waves or sleek for a meeting or interview. These shoulder-length hair styles are perfect for ladies wanting to make a big change without a big cut. They look great for all hair types and can easily be customized for any situation.

Shoulder-Length Bob Hairstyle for Women

#111: Shoulder-Length Bob

A shoulder-length bob is one of the ideal medium hair cuts for women with flat locks. This is also a top choice for office hairstyles. This look is perfect for the client needing a low-maintenance, professional, fly-out-the-door hairstyle. On days you have a little extra time, add a few curls and have a different look. If you wake up late and are pressed for time, throw a little product in it and go! This lob suits pretty much any face shape and hair type. Girls with curly hair need to consider their curl pattern as this could play into how short or long to cut the hair.

Soft and Easy Shoulder-Length Hair

#112: Soft and Easy

I love the ease of this shoulder-length hair. It has the softness of painted hair but with a little more pop! What’s great about the color and the cut is that they can work for so many people. This look is fairly low-maintenance so you can go months between color appointments. The length of this haircut is easy to curl or straighten, and you can still wear it in a ponytail.

#113: Chocolate Brown Texture

This look is a shoulder-length, lightly textured look subtly longer toward the front. She likes low-maintenance colors, so I hand-painted highlights and softly feathered them up toward the root to create a look that would grow nicely.

#114: Caramel Long Layers

Try this dreamy cut with layers and caramel highlights. This is a shoulder-length hairstyle with beige/brown long layers and buttery blonde balayage. I love how the look appears effortless but polished. I recommend a great color-safe shampoo and conditioner (Pureology), a primer (Bumble and Bumble), a blow dry cream (Joico) with the use of a roller brush (Olivia Garden), and a good blow dryer. This hairstyle would work with thicker hair and just about any face shape. This look is great for a woman who likes feeling polished but not overly done.

#115: Tattooed Undercut

If you’re looking for quick hairstyles with some flair, this one will do. With the hair tattoo, put it into an updo to give it that edgy look. I love cuts that have a lot of versatility, and that’s something great about this shoulder-length lob. It’s easy to style like a bob and still, long enough to ponytail when you need it out of your way. You could also do a fun half-up style for something more interesting!

#116: Multi-Colored Lob

My favorite thing about this color is that she has all three colors she wanted: brown roots, blonde, and fun colors. I love working with Joico Colors. I gave her four types of colors that added some fun colors to her without being too much.

Not too short and not too long, shoulder-length haircuts fall at the perfect spot! It’s the most popular length I and other hairstylists cut for our clients.
